1969 camaro rear wheel fitment

[bobhamilton15090]

Can I run a 20x10 wheel with 4.5 bs on a 1969 camaro?

[dhutton]

Not likely. Most commonly recommended backspacing for a 10 inch wheel is between 5.5 and 6 inches, not too mention the 20 inch wheel which is going to make it even tougher.

could i use a 1" spacer?

The spacer is definitely not the way to go as it will push the wheel an inch further in the wrong direction. You need the opposite of a spacer, i.e. a narrowed rearend and minitubs because your wheels need to go inboard to clear everything, not get pushed outboard.

I hear you, Bob! Divorces are a lot more expensive than wheels. Keep her happy and find the right wheel within your budget.

Good luck!
